Thanks Jon Good to hear there are plans for investing in endpoints. I would say being able to easily build APIs is fairly fundamental and is a high priority. There is a lot of work that could be done to the api explorer, testing, and api clients. Having typescript definitions would also be really nice. I like that you can swap out backends although I'm having to use go-endpoints which is not an official package and comes with no guarantees or support I do run seperate modules which is nice - Although It does impact instance hours which generally puts you over the free quota. Perhaps 15 minutes to startup a go module is a bit harsh since go is very quick to startup.
